The inside dia. is 1.904. outside dia si 2.141. Anyone have a shock absorber that has a normal base on it? One with the rubber bushing and bracket for the bolt. I would like the outside dia if you please. My previous post I gave a description of how to make it real simple, And it works. I just tried it. But I don't have a regular shock to finish the job. Anyone know where I can find a chart on the dimensions.

Sounds like you are making good progress. Sorry that you had to go through all that just from trying to unclog a drain pipe. I cringe when I hear someone mention lath on the walls. I was a sheetrock hanger in Atlanta for a while in my younger days. We put sheetrock over lath in some old houses and it wasn't an easy job. You couldn't really find the studs by tapping with a hammer. Never heard of a stud finder back then. When you tried to drive a nail in the lath with a hammer it just wanted to bounce without the nail sinking all the way in if you were between studs. If the nail went in the crack between the lath they didn't hold anything and you had to try again. We weren't smart enough back in those days to use screws like they do today. I found out years later that some of the plaster over the lath had asbestos in it.

I chiseled an 8" vertical and 48" horizontal hole through the bathroom tile, concrete, and lath a few days ago. Plumber came today and cut away the return pipe and 90* knuckles. He replaced the return pipe and knuckles with PVC along with pitching it just a little better than the old pipe. I then cut cement board to fit and secured it place this afternoon. Tomorrow I will buy tile mastic and adhere the tile to the cement board.....I actually found enough extra color-correct tile stored in my cellar. Saturday will be grout day.
